Where’s my slagging?

he has obvious flaws as anyone will tell you and he doesn’t seem to learn

 

[Snowflake]

Wilder OUT now, for good, for ever
never to be seen or heard from again.
Setting us up for glorious survival season to be followed by endless mid table mediocrity when his 40 million budget advantage disappears.

Did you enjoy the match ?

 

[Harry's Game]

No good trying to butter us up now Rob

 

[toledo]

I am a Cooper fan as he does the GK fundamentals well but the Cooper of last year would have stopped both goals so I do think he is carrying some sort of injury.

Having said that, as an ex GK, its a position where you have to be on your game for 90 minutes..

But he is a terrific goalkeeper...

 

[Tom Bott]

Thank Chris for that!

 

[Shawy24]

He has obvious flaws would seem to be slagging.

 

[VonBrysonsExpress]

Hanging on for our 3rd win in a row and they cant wait to get on here and slate him.

Doesn't seem to learn. Weird that he's been really successful for years then isnt it? What is it about people like you that you wanna slag the manager as soon as we hit a rough spell in a game?

TBF I can think of a few seasons and clubs which don't support that statement. Happy with last 3 results but every manager should be open to scrutiny without it being a for/against argument amongst fans.

Yep agree just the way they cannot wait to start slating him. It's so boring

 

[Shawy24]

Pathetic
Go back through the posts on the game. You’ll find I didn’t post when things got sticky.

 

[1973Blade]

Most entertaining game of the season, tempted to say Riedewald again man of the match. Two big things that have happened, Cannon and Peck scoring earlier in the world, you can see how much that has boosted their confidence.

 

[Yoonitedite]

I read that as Christ,but let's not go there just yet

 

[ForgeBlade]

Like to make us sweat don't they!? I'm a coward so I went for a shower on 87 mins fully expecting it to be 3-3 or even 4-3 when I came out.

All in all an excellent week. 3 games, 9 points, 9 goals, +7 GD.

 

[john Mathison]

Foxes fan's all saying, might have hired wrong manager in the summer. Well, we certainly did, not a big fan of Wilder, however, he has got us playing again. Have to say, Peck's goal, Hameresque!!!!!! Rumours their manager has been sacked??????

 

[HodgysBrokenThumb]

Both goals today a schoolboy keeper would have been disappointed with.

As someone who played in goal through my school years, I wouldn’t have been disappointed. That’s probably why I never made it

 

[CornwallBlade]

Maybe some lingering confidence issues?

Get it sorted, Wilder.

The problem is that he creates the pressure by setting up the way he does. The players must think “fuck me here we go again” so it’s the tactical approach that creates the confidence issues. We don’t have to be reckless but, a team needing 2 goals has to commit players up the pitch so keep the line high, continue to press and exploit the inevitable defensive gaps. Instead we give them the freedom to walk it to the final third and then subject ourselves to an onslaught

 

[RealMcCoy]

Watching live I thought Cooper was taken out before he could intercept the cross, but on rewatching, he decides to leave it before he goes down.
Second goal, was he unsighted? Did the ball move in the air?

Worrying signs from Cooper this season. Hope he recovers his form from last season.

 

[ben1987]

Fuck me what a relief. Talk about a game of two halves. When that second went in a feared the worst.

did the same with less bravery.

Was in the shower on 75 mins.

Great win

 

[Blade In Flame]

Thank Christ for that!

No, thank Chris. Close though.

Yeh their 2nd have loads of swerve on it.

It started off initially heading towards the top corner but swerved towards Coopers head where he was stood before the shot was attempted.

The problem was Cooper assumed it was heading towards the top corner and moved out of the way preparing to dive. Probably a bit of bad luck…goalies don’t expect shots to be straight at them….normally a striker aims for the corners.

I think he's carrying an injury all season, difference in the last few games is our defence have protected him very well, we definitely need a top back up keeper in January, wilder will know this.

That's why we should look for a good back-up keeper. He won't heal if he's having to do full 90 minutes all the time. He needs a bit of rest.

 

[HOT CURRIE 10]

I’m in the goalkeepers league and pretty critical of an experienced keeper like him hanging the washing out today . As a mate of mine who sits next to me says “he hardly saves a shot does he “ . Hopefully proves me wrong very soon.

 

[Bladesthorpe]

Not making excuses but the way the players and manager ran to Cooper at the end of the game I think Cooper played on with some sort of injury.

 

[steve peace]

All I can say is it is a good job we are hitting top form as some of the other clubs below us are finding there fret and starting to get s

 

[Frank the tank]

Great to get the result, but that second half was needlessly awful- especially after such a brilliant first half.

Unfortunately, Wilder once again showing his inability to make reactive changes mid-game. We had no answers to their halftime changes, at all.

Nothing wrong with the tactical.changes
Capable keeper and we cruise that game

[Surrey Blade]

I think the team deserves huge credit. Playing Sunday lunchtime, Wednesday evening and then an early kick off today is a tough, physically demanding schedule. The second half was an agonising watch, but we held on to grab another priceless win.
